G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / New to using a probe please need help

« on: September 09, 2014, 02:07:14 PM »

Hello everyone,

I just set up a probe I recently purchased, seems like everything is working fine I'm just confused after the probe is finished what type of file is this saved in, I tried loading it into TurboCAD with no results. Do I need some kind of program to turn this into a gcode. I tried loading it into aspire no luck there either any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / gcode and probing

« on: September 06, 2014, 11:41:19 PM »

Hello everyone,
I just purchased a probe I have mach3  for many years. I have the old digitizing program installed using Microsoft XL my question is if I ever get the probe working after I use probing wizard will this make a gcode to run my router to duplicate the parts. Or do I need a different program to turn that digitizing into GCode. Any help will be greatly appreciated



Thanks Tom
